Time to Make the Photos.

Every assignment begins with negotiations.

This morning, Sir Leo Edward Re*****on ’s strategy included launching a playful attack on my foot while I was getting dressed, hiding in the suitcase, and eventually agreeing to let me leave after a high-five, a few scritches, and a summertime Churu popsicle.

Today I’m headed somewhere I’ve never been before—Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My first visit to the state.

It’s also my last flight out of Dulles Airport (IAD) at 52. When I roll my suitcase back through these doors, I’ll be 53.

A toast to 52 before taking off. 🥂

I’m making the trip in United Airlines First both legs, and with a little luck this may also be the journey that bumps me into Premier Gold. Not a bad way to head into another year.

There are still new places to see.
Still new people to photograph.
Still new stories to tell.

Time to make the photos.

The Leo Shirt Strikes Again.

Years ago, while traveling home from a West Coast assignment, I wore a t-shirt with ’s face on it.

Something funny happened.

People kept stopping me.

A comment here. A conversation there. A couple in a boarding line who thought Luke looked exactly like their friend’s cat. A request for a photo.

By the end of the day, I realized something:

The shirt had become a plot device.

So I kept wearing it.

Every trip.
Every airport.
Every assignment.

Even after Luke passed away.

When Jen later surprised me with a version of the same shirt, the tradition continued.

And once again, Leo delivered.

On my flight from Houston to Minneapolis last week, a fellow cat person spotted the shirt while boarding.

A few hours later we crossed paths again at baggage claim, which turned into a conversation about rescue cats, creativity, Instagram accounts, photography, marketing, and life.

Without the shirt, , who you can see here with me, walks past seat 1E and never says a word.

Without it, dozens of airport conversations over the years never happen.

The shirt lowers the social barrier because nobody feels awkward saying:

“Hey, I love your cat.”

And suddenly strangers aren’t strangers anymore.

Kimberly and her husband have devoted themselves to cat rescue and also run a marketing agency. By the time we said goodbye, we’d exchanged stories, followed each other’s accounts, and taken a selfie with Leo himself.

Where it goes from here, who knows.

But that’s kind of the point.

Sometimes the smallest things create the most unexpected connections.

Thanks for the conversation, Kimberly. And thanks, Leo, for once again doing your job.

Time to Make My Way Home — Dallas Edition ✈️

Eight days ago I left home for Montreal—my first international assignment—starting with a two-day, two-photographer headshot shoot… then flew ~1,500 miles south from snow and a 22° windchill to 75° in Dallas for a large-scale production.

Dallas meant jumping into an 18-photographer team—one of those weeks where everyone just gets it. The kind of rhythm, trust, and camaraderie that makes big events feel seamless.

Those are the moments I appreciate most.

—

Grabbed a late checkout at the Ga***rd Texan (clutch), eased into the morning, then treated myself to a few quiet hours in the United Club before heading out.

Sometimes the reset matters as much as the work.

—

And then one last moment on the way home…

A woman stops me after security:
“You were our photographer.”

Turns out she and her husband had front-row seats all week—watching me work the entire time.

Then I ran into them again at the gate…
and again while boarding—this time with the show manager running the whole production backstage.

Same smiles. Same energy.

Snapped a quick selfie on the way to my seat.

That’s the part you can’t plan for.

You just show up, do the work…
and sometimes people notice.

—

About 1,200 miles to go…
~3,200 miles when it’s all said and done.

Tired—but the good kind.

—

And soon…

Home.
My own bed.
Leo.
Jen.

Perfect.

Leave yourself open to those moments…
life usually delivers. 📸

Time to Make the Photos: Dallas Edition 📸✈️

Montréal → Dallas.

One assignment down.
Next one already in motion.

But somehow… Leo came with me.

Hotel checkout → cat conversation.
Newsstand → calico photos.
Lyft driver → limited English, my nonexistent French… still made it work.

She’d just told her husband she liked the name Jim.
Then picked me up.

Her youngest?

Leo.

“Okay… that’s a sign.”

This is why I wear the shirt.

Cat people show up.
They connect.
They’re just… good humans.

YUL departures.
U.S. preclearance.
Air Canada boarding.

Trip #3 of the year—and my first international assignment.

Leo gave the official 05:50 approval (reluctantly).
Foggy sunrise drive.
doing its cherry blossom thing. 🌸
→ PreCheck → wheels up.

Winter still hanging on below somewhere over the border.

Touchdown at Montréal–Trudeau (YUL).
Crisp air. Blue skies. Different energy.

Quick check-in downtown—warm cookie still undefeated.
Even the elevator sets the tone here.

And just like that…

New city. New light. New stories.

Montréal — time to make the photos.

Time to Make the Photos: Boston Edition 📸✈️

Trip #2 of the year is underway.

The morning started with the traditional send-off ritual from Leo — a few high fives, a shoulder ride (his newest obsession), and a Purr Pop before I headed out the door. Apparently I’m now both transportation and snack provider.

From there it was a sunrise run to , a quick glide through + TSA PreCheck, and wheels up from Seat 1A on 641 heading north to Boston.

Yesterday in Virginia it hit 84° and felt like spring had fully arrived.

Boston this morning?
41° with a wind chill around 32°.

So… yeah. That escalated quickly.

This is only my second trip of the year, but judging by what’s already on the calendar, the travel schedule is about to get busy and the miles are about to start stacking up.

Different cities. Different people. Different stories to capture.

Boston — time to make the photos.

Leo seemed confident I’d figure it out… once he finished riding around on my shoulders and supervising the whole operation.

Does anyone else have a pet that thinks they’re in charge of the house?

Time to Make the Photos — Pittsburgh Edition
First travel assignment of 2026 ✈️

It starts at home.

Leo’s shoulder-riding trick has been in development for a while — early beta versions included tentative hops and unstable landings.

But three days ago? Full release.
New capability unlocked.

Now he waits on the kitchen island or the back of a chair like he’s listening for boarding groups. I walk by — hop aboard. Paws lock. Tail up. Immediate hearty purr mode.

Apparently I am now his People Mover.

Which feels appropriate.

Outside, winter hangs low and blue over Northern Virginia. Snow across the fields. The radar dome near Dulles rising out of the fog — quietly tracking storms before the rest of us even know they’re forming.

Forecast energy. Pattern recognition. A fitting backdrop for the first assignment of the year.

Washington Dulles International Airport looking like the 1962 future we were promised. TSA Pre glowing green. The big IAD letters steady as ever.

And lined up outside the window — the People Movers. White tops stamped in red: OK. IL. TX. RI. MT. MD. HI.

State abbreviations.

I’ve flown through here more times than I can count and somehow never noticed. Today they lined up like roll call and it clicked.

Wait. Those are all states.

People love to complain about them. I don’t get it. I’ll take a People Mover over the escalator–tram–escalator maze any day. You roll across the tarmac like a dignified airport prairie schooner and arrive. Direct. Efficient. Surface-level.

Sometimes the unpopular thing is just the thing that works.

Pre-flight mimosa in hand. A free upgrade to United First (thank you kindly 🙏). Pittsburgh ahead.

And already on the books for 2026: Boston. Montreal. Dallas. Toronto. Anchorage.

Oh, the places we’ll go.

Leo unlocked a new level this week.

Now it’s my turn.

Time to make the photos.

Time to Make the Photos – Orlando Edition ✈️📸
(Last Travel Assignment of the Year!)

Wrapping up the year the usual way: gear packed, cat shirt on, and Leo giving me championship-level high fives before I walked out the door. Missed capturing those (photographer irony), but I did get one last set of cuddles on his throne — the top of his favorite chair.

Reagan National was fully in holiday mode: giant trees, garland everywhere, and that classic view of the Capitol behind the taxiing planes. DC really knows how to set a scene.

And then… the flight.
Normally I’m a guy—my go-to, my sanctuary in the sky.
But today… not my choice… I boarded American. 😅

Group 6.
Sixth-class citizen.
Aft-cabin purgatory.

At one point I was pretty sure someone was going to hand me a shovel and ask me to help push-start the plane.

And look, if I have to say something nice about American today…
I guess they’re better than JetBlue?
Not exactly a jingle-bell-ringing endorsement, but hey — it’s the holidays and I’m trying to be kind. 🎄😂

Also not flying out of my beloved today — another disappointment!
Shout-out to IAD, though: consistently smooth, consistently classy! 🙌💙 But know this, your sister airport took good care of me. Also, your social team deserves cookies. And a photo next time I’m through, which I hope won’t be long.

But we adapt.
We endure.
We take our seat one row from the very back and say, “Sure. This is fine.”

Final assignment of the year. Destination: sunny Orlando — and maybe a few Floridaman stories. I’ll take it.

Bags stowed (barely). Caffeine secured.
Time to make the photos. 📸✨
